Top 5 regrets looking back at life

on ABC radio today Converations
Bronnie Ware, an Australian palliative care nurse who wrote about what her patients told her at the end of their lives.

She's distilled it down into 5 themes.

Government is planning hardship for older Australians living at home Aged care has again been in the media for all the wrong reasons. Two failures are attracting particular attention.

"If the govt is serious about enabling people to age in place, home care must be made affordable, equitable and accessible. No older person in Australia should be forced to choose between a meal and a shower."

Support at Home pricing to damage seniors, health and aged care sectors – the impacts of short-sighted policy | Hello Leaders AUS As strains on health and aged care capacity worsen, short-sighted policy surrounding Support at Home pricing to speed up damage for individuals and critical sectors.

Government has the right to set policy. Experts have the right to tell them they are wrong. Citizens have the right to object.

No government gets every decision right. Smart governments change their policy when they realise that they have it wrong

Wow, 120,000 older Australians are waiting for an aged care assessment & a further 90,000 have been assessed, approved & waiting for a package. So over 200,000 frail older Australians waiting for the services they need to live safely at home. Disgraceful

Thank you that is so fascinating. Their lobbying continues unabated

It’s the little things

The world is in a period of extraordinary crisis and conflict. But the new moon rises to shine beautiful light regardless

Open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese MP from Australian former diplomats As pressure mounts on the Australian Government over Palestine, a group of highly respected Australians, who have represented our nation overseas, have gone straight to the top with a letter to the pr...

It’s time to recognise Palestine and drop the fantasy of a two state solution.

These Australian diplomats have enormous experience and wisdom. It is time for Prime Minister Albanese and Senator Wong to listen to real experts & change direction

I hope that NSW Premier Chris Minns, the NSW Police & all those who objected to the Palestine March yesterday now raise their voices to make the same comments about the annual Sydney Marathon. I’ll bet they won’t. Yet it will close the harbour bridge and clog up the city.

There is no need for Australia to increase defence spending. We are a small pacific country. China doesn’t need to attack us, we sell them whatever they want. We are of no strategic interest to Russia. Our biggest risk is America. It’s time to distance ourselves from the USA

It’s time for Australia to stop talking about Defence spending. America wants Australia to spend more on Attack funding. Australia is not under threat from any country. Our biggest risk is aligning with America when it attacks under countries. We must be non-aligned

I object to my taxes being used to pay Jillian Segal to try & stop Australians speaking up about genocide & ethic cleansing in Gaza. Australia is a tolerant country with a strong sense of truth & justice. Her proposals are vile & anti-Australian

Hey kids, try this at home

It looks like it will take years but which time the damage will have been done and it won’t be possible to turn it around

How spending more on defence harms the nation Anthony Albanese is taking a battering from ill-informed commentators for thinking Australia can be defended by spending a little over 2% of GDP on its military forces.

How spending more on defence harms the nation. Too right it does

Happy Sunday to be an Australian 😃

Sadly they are Australian figures

The next time someone tells you that the quality of aged care has improved, tell them they’re dreaming. 14,934 reportable incidents in just three months (October to December 2024).

To get a feel for the whole picture, multiply by 4 😟

Or afterwards

It’s one of the joys of being “retired” but still working. I walk in whatever part of the day has the best weather. You should try it!

Although you’ll need more precision in your analysis. Women in the branches are make the scones for men to eat. This allows both sexes to participate in ways that play to their strengths

Well done, you have a fine future in the Liberal Party 🙃

Branch meetings, yes. Policy influence by branches, no. Anyone for another scone?

Anyone for tea and scones?

A case study in how not to manage a Commonwealth program. I am on the board of MOW NSW and know first hand how much damage this did to Meals on Wheels. No one has been held to account. Today’s Canberra Times.
